McCrea’s book makes an important contribution to our understanding of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and post-concussive syndrome (PCS). It offers an excellent review of studies over the past 5–10 years, particularly those in the area of sports medicine/concussion. The author has established a consensus definition of MTBI and best practice in the management and treatment of these patients, while forcing us to rethink the ‘true incidence’ of persistent PCS. There are a host of other conclusions, ideas for future research, and inaccuracies previously published in the literature that are clarified that will be helpful for clinicians working with this challenging patient population. The book is considered a scholarly contribution that most neuroscientists and clinicians who work with MTBI patients will find helpful. One limitation of the book as well as one lingering question that remains unanswered are discussed at the end of the review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
